So, I am sitting here thinking and trying to get ready for our fall retreat for our High School Ministry at FBC, and I am just drawing blanks. I feel like I’m not firing on all cylinders. I look back at the course of the last two weeks and realize that it is blurry. There are a few moments that I remember with razor sharp accuracy. However, the minutes and hours have all kind of fuzzed over into one big painful memory. [For those of you who may be jumping in you can read about what I’m talking about, here, here, here, and here. You can click here to see my dad’s testimony.]
Today I got back the video from my dad’s memorial service, and I wanted to share this one video with you. I promise that I won’t inundate you with video’s and other stuff, but this is to special not to share.

After watching this over and over again I find it amazing to think about the way that my dad, even when unable to speak, continued to touch people’s lives. So many people take for granted how much their actions speak; how much their lives speak.
What is your life speaking right about now?

That’s powerful. That’s real. I’ve heard adults say that when they get old, they hope they never get to the point where they can’t speak because they’d feel so useless. But praise God because He has shown that that is not true. He is good.
Thank you for everything Peter 🙂
You are such an amazing person Peter, you really are. Thank you for sharing your dad with me through your words and videos. Know that he continues to inspire and reach people. God has been pushing me in ways that are very uncomfortable, that force me to really evaluate how I represent Christ’s love and sacrifice. I am not sure what my life is speaking right now to others… I just pray that the people I do come into contact with see someone who is always willing to extend grace and someone who has an intense desire to minister that we are all so worthy in Jesus Christ. Your dad has shown me that it is in our most vulnerable moments we show God the most.
